Page 90 of Secret Baby Daddies
“I’m trying to work back here! All that emotional shit is making me gag.”
“Aaron! Seriously?” I shouted back at my old neighbor, turned favorite employee and best nanny in all of the world, if you asked Owen or my husbands. “You don’t think I hear you constantly making kissy sounds at your boyfriend?”
Maddox sighed.
“Some things never change.”
Jace brushed a knuckle down my cheek.
“Thank god.”
I looked up at them and shook my head but a grin twisted my lips.
“Will one of you be useful and clean up this mess?”
Luc moved to grab the broom.
“I’m part owner and CEO of a billion-dollar business and you’ve got me over here, sweeping up leaves. The power of pus—”
“Luc!”
“Pushing a baby out. The power of pushing a baby out, little bunny.”
Dad walked a few steps away with Owen.
“There are some things I don’t need to even have hinted at.”
“Did Luc just almost talk about your kitty cat in front of your father?” Aaron, ever helpful, cackled from the back room. “Susie, did you hear that?”
Susie stuck her head in and grinned at me.
“When I ran this place we kept it PG.”
Dad suddenly gasped and twisted away from the shelf he’d been in front of.
“What the fuck is that?!”
I giggled. He’d just spotted Bubbles in his new outfit. Sitting as still as a statue, Bubbles made the perfect little Chucky doll. The fake knife on his costume really took it over the top. I’d told the guys they were going to give someone a heart attack with that costume. It really was creepy.
Owen giggled and waved his hand at me.
“Mommy! Fuck!”
Jace snorted and then wheezed when I elbowed him in the stomach. It was hell trying to teach a little boy in our house not to curse. I didn’t need anyone encouraging him.
“Well, fuck.” Dad blanched. “Sorry! I mean, fudge! Well, fudge. Owen, stop saying that. Owen, don’t sing it. Your mom’s never going to let me come over again.”
It was my Luc, once serious as death CEO, who couldn’t hold his laughter when our son continued singing the word fuck like it was the new hit children’s song. Baby Shark? Never heard of her. Fuck? Oh, yeah, what a jam.
“Get it, little man!” Aaron and Susie were laughing from the back, both of them enjoying the crap out of my parenting fail.
Because, yeah, it had been me who’d accidentally taught the word to my kid. I couldn’t even blame anyone else.
Maddox wrapped his arms around me.
“That’s our boy.”
I tilted my head. It was actually a pretty decent song, if I was being honest. It was definitely going to get stuck in my head. It was the look of horror on my dad’s face that finally got me to crack. I laughed so hard I was crying. I laughed so hard I was sure I’d peed on myself when I was suddenly drenched between my thighs.
In true hero fashion, my men knew what was happening before me. They jumped into action and had me halfway to the truck before I realized I didn’t need to be embarrassed about being myself. Baby girl Silver had decided to join the party a little early.
“Fuck.”
The End
